We all went out to have a Mardi Gras dinner with friends. The Cajun music and zydeco was playing, decorations everywhere and beads beads beads mister! Lol.
Good food all around the table. I had some wonderful crawfish sooo good, there were shrimp po boys and giant onion rings, a huge chicken fried steak and baked potatoes out of the skin I don't know what they called it. We had a great time and great food with great people. I would have been up dancing back in the day. I was foot tapping!

Comments (3)I'm convinced the "color break" I had on Penang Peach a couple of years ago was also the high heat and not a virus....See MoreMardi Gras
Comments (1)But still a very beautiful flower. I just got one next year, and can only hope it does as well as yours. I understand that this is an Elizabeth Thornton hybrid and the shape of the bloom reminds of of Thornton's Lemon Drop, another of hers. I wonder if they have similar parentage....See MoreMardi Gras, Superbowl and snow
Comments (12)Thanks you guys, we had a blast. DH really does a lot of the cooking. We also had karoke, Mardi Gras pinata, and a home made roulette wheel (it was a big hit).Luvs, I found that chaulkboard sign at the flea market and of course I had to have it. It is made of cast iron and slate. mmom, we ended up with 8 inches of snow before Monday was over. I went to work and was the only one there, stayed home Tues. and the kids are still out today. Karen, the only purple glass I ever find are those purple florist vases and I buy them whenever I find them. Syble...See MoreMardi Gras tablesetting
Comments (18)Thank you everyone! Sorry it's taken me so long to reply...work has been a bear this week. I wish I could say that I made the placemats and runner, but sewing is definitely not something I can do. I actually found them at Walmart. They're sort of iridescent and have all three traditional Mardi Gras colors in them. I've had the plates and glasses for years and up until now, they were pretty much only used at Christmas. I'm sure ya'll will be seeing them again when I finally do my St Patrick's table. LOL The green dish is a miniature covered butter dish. I found these on a website a couple of months ago for only $2 a piece. I wish I could find some in clear glass since I would probably get more use out of them than the green. Dinner was delish! I served a variety of Cajun/Creole inspired seafood, potato casserole, salad, French bread and of course...King Cake for dessert. Very yummy!...See Moreravencajun Zone 8b TX
